“In the third quarter we regained momentum with year-over-year growth for all three months in the quarter, culminating in 9% growth overall year-to-date. Our strong Q3 sales results were fueled by robust demand for our outstanding product portfolio—particularly Plug-in Hybrid and top-end vehicle models—combined with stronger inventory supply at the retail level. The end of this quarter was not without its challenges, and we thank our incredible dealer partners for their tireless efforts serving and prioritizing the safety of customers and employees while facing catastrophic storms in the Southeast. Our thoughts remain with those impacted by Hurricane Helene and everyone bracing for another major storm this week.”

Dimitris Psillakis, President and CEO of Mercedes-Benz USA
